Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This new cut flower, container and border variety has ample clusters of flowers with a flush of pink warming the edges of the pure white blooms. Lovely and special, it easy to grow and blooms non-stop all summer and fall.
The color of this beautiful old classic will appear as either a palest of pinks or white, depending on the light and contrast. The concise eyes and corolla tubes, both of which are soft plum color, cast a faint pinky cast over the chalky white florets, contributing to the delicate 'blush' of the bride. It makes a truly lovely floral arrangement when mixed with a pure white phlox such as ?White Admiral?.
